The proximal femoral nailing system provides good osteosynthesis for femoral neck fractures, trochanteric fractures, and various types of fractures in the upper third of the femur. In certain cases of femoral neck fractures, it may be necessary to prevent head rotation, for which dual neck screws provide rotational stability. The combined use of the two neck screws also offers increased strength to the system. Compression of the fracture can be performed with the assistance of the thicker, more distal screw introduced into the femoral head.
The design of the implants: Proximal femoral nails are available in short, solid, or long, cannulated versions. The long nails are anatomically curved, and both right and left versions can be ordered. In longer nails (starting from 220 mm), the distal end can be fixed with two locking screws, and dynamic fixation of the fracture is also possible.
